Puppies are bundles of energy, and they need direction as they learn what’s okay for them to chew. Have these toys at the ready for the next time your pup tries to use you or your furniture as a chew toy.
Cardboard/Paper – Want an option that is free and readily available? Try toilet paper or paper towel cardboard tubes or packaging paper that helps cushion all those Amazon deliveries. This no-cost “toy” can occupy your pup for a long time, but be sure to supervise and prevent your pup from swallowing the cardboard. Charlotte loves to shred these into many pieces.
KONG Goodie Bone – This nearly-indestructible rubber bone has ingenious openings in the end where you can stuff treats. The small size is great for minis, and it’s a nightly treat for Charlotte.
Outward Hound Snuffle Palz Snuffle Mat Bird – This is a hit with Charlotte, especially when filled with high-value treats like Nutrisential Lean Treats. There are MANY places to tuck in treats, and it’s cute!
Starmark Everlasting Treat BentoBall – This dishwasher-safe ball has openings to insert hard, chewable and lickable chicken-flavored disks that will keep your dog occupied for hours. Charlotte protests when Mom takes this away.
Chuckit! Ultra Ball Small – When it’s time for a good run, this mini-sized ball encourages an enthusiastic game of fetch in the back yard. The orange color makes it easy to spot in the grass or snow, and the rubber material holds up to aggressive chewers.
Starmark Treat Dispensing Bob-a-Lot Dog Toy – Remember Weebles? They wobble but the don’t fall down? Now add a chamber to pour kibble into with a hole on the side to dispense, and you’ve got an enrichment toy for your pup. The weighted bottom keeps the toy upright and rocking as your doxie bobs at it. The small size works great for miniature dachshunds.
Zippy Paws Skinny Peltz – Tired of finding stuffing all over the house after an enthusiastic play session? Worried about your pup ingesting fiberfill? These plush toys are sans stuffing and super cute! The small size is just right for thrashing about, and they come with squeakers for more interactive play. These are a bed-time must-have for Charlotte.
